This month we will have our annual CB Radio clinic. Thanks to Champaign Chrysler for allowing us to use their service bay! Bring your rig, a sack lunch, and annual club dues, $30 per family. We will be voting on the date and location for the April Fool's run as well as T-shirt ideas. Finally, we are looking for club officer nominations - interested?

We are signed up to provide at least 8 people at a "Pop-up Food Pantry". Foodmobile Pop-Up Pantries are mobile food pantries focused on alleviating hunger among vulnerable populations. Foodmobiles target rural and under-served communities. Volunteers are needed to set up the food distribution area, hand out product to recipients, help recipients carry product to their cars, and clean up after distribution is complete. We will be a part of the 20 - 30 person team that will staff the operation. We will need to arrive on site about 8:45am and will finish up around 12:15pm. Dress warm and comfortable, wear closed toe shoes, Do not attend if you are showing any signs of cold/flu.

Afterwards we will be going to Gross Burgers (25 Henderson St., Danville IL) around 12:30 for lunch and a short meeting. Hope to see you there even if you can't make the Foodbank.

There is an easy trail that goes around the park and some moderate to difficult trails that cross it. Depending on who shows we will run the easier stuff in the morning and the more adventurous souls will split off in the afternoon after our meeting. Bring a lunch and quarters for the car wash ;) We will leave Farm & Fleet in Urbana at 7 AM, it takes about 2 hours, 15 minutes to get to the Cliffs from there, so if you are meeting us there look for us in the parking lot around 9:30.
